INT. ALBORN CAFE - DAY *Maria sits at a table, gently wiping down her camera with a soft cloth. She seems troubled, deep in thought.* *Hunter enters the cafe, scans the room, and approaches Maria's table. He flashes his badge.* Hunter: "Sorry to bother you miss, but I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn PD. I'm looking for some info on a recent incident, and folks said you might have witnessed something." *Maria looks up at Hunter, startled. She immediately begins speaking rapidly in Spanish, gesturing animatedly with her hands. Her voice wavers.* Maria: ¡No no! ¡Yo no se nada! Ni siquiera hablo inglés. ¿Entiende? ¿Hablo demasiao rapido? ¡Por favor, no понимать! *Her words tumble out, darting all over the place. She looks at Hunter nervously.* *Hunter furrows his brow, pensively shifting his weight. He blows out a sigh, running a hand through his hair.* Hunter: "Uh...right. I'm really sorry miss, but I don't understand a lick of Spanish. Is there anyone else around who might be from England so I could translate..." *A look of realization crosses Hunter's face. He pulls out his phone and unlocks it, holding the screen out to Maria.* Hunter: "Um, do you have Google on your phone? Maybe we could use the translator..." *Maria whips out her own phone and opens Google Translate, nodding vigorously. She takes a deep, calming breath, and begins again in a slower voice.* Maria: Yo fotógrafo paisaje. Verbene el parque, el festival - toma varias fotos con mi cámara. Entonces yo... *She pauses, looking at the screen for the translated text. Her hands shake slightly.* *Google Translate recites a nearly unrecognizable version of what Maria said in English. Hunter listens intently, piecing together the key words.* Hunter: "So, you weren't at the park during the festival, but you saw him there? Is that right? And you took pictures... of what exactly?" *They continue working through the conversation, stumbling over each other's words. Maria keeps talking about seeing someone unusual in the park, but the murmured translations confuse Hunter.* *Suddenly, Hunter's phone buzzes with an incoming call. He excuses himself, leaving Maria to wait, worry settling in as his detectives pull him away to figure things out.* Hunter: "I'm sorry Miss, but I've got to go. Will you be in town a while longer in case I need to come back?" *Maria agrees, her voice trembling as Hunter takes off without looking back. She clutches her camera and buries her face in her hands, alone with her secrets.* "...¿Que pasa después?"
